West Shore Regional police were asking for the public's help in identifying the woman accused of the thefts, which surveillance footage revealed took place sometime before noon Monday at Ritter's Hardware in the 1200 block of Market Street, according to a press release. The same woman returned to the store at around 2 p.m., police said.

After approaching a store employee, the woman asked for a cash refund in return for the items, but became evasive and left the store when the employee began to question her.

The woman was last seen riding away from the store on a bicycle, taking the stolen items with her, police said.

Based on the store's video surveillance and witness testimony, police described the woman as between 30 and 40 years of age with a thin build and short, spiked blonde hair. She has a tattoo wrapped around one of her biceps.

Anyone who can help identity the woman is asked to contact the West Shore Regional Police Department through Cumberland County dispatchers at 717-238-9676.
